Gildan’s March 23, 2020 Update Related to COVID-19

Dear Valued Customer,

Gildan is today providing a new update in response to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on
its business and operations.

First, I would like to reiterate that Gildan’s first priority continues to be the health and welfare of our
employees, customers, suppliers and other partners which we have been working to address. We are pleased to
report that at this time, we have not seen any confirmed cases in our business. As the spread of COVID-19
continues to heighten, governments, companies and individuals have started implementing measures to limit
the spread of COVID-19, including the limitation of social gatherings, travel restrictions and the
cancellation of various sporting, entertainment, promotional, and cultural events, amongst others, which
are having a significant impact on global economic activity. In addition, governments of some of the
countries in which we operate have started issuing directives to combat the spread of COVID-19, including
mandated shutdowns of facilities.

Accordingly, given the impact of these factors, the Company announced today that it is temporarily
suspending production at all of its manufacturing facilities through mid-April. This will allow us to
contain COVID-19, respect government recommendations and align production and inventory levels with current
demand requirements. All other areas of our business, including our distribution centres, which service the
various regions where we sell our products, will remain open with good inventory availability levels to
service our customers. These areas will continue to operate for the time being, subject to local government
restrictions and guidelines, with appropriate measures in place to protect our employees, including remote
working arrangements for many of our office staff. Our sales and marketing teams continue to be fully
available to support your business. Should you have any questions or need any support, please contact your
sales representative directly.

Finally, it is important to reiterate that you can count on our team to continue to offer you dedicated
support during this time of uncertainty and in the future and that this temporary shutdown of our
manufacturing facilities will not affect our ability to service your orders.

Given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation which is changing rapidly, the Company will
continue to monitor and adjust its plans for its business as the situation evolves. We will continue to
update our customers as needed.
